asp_web_howto thread: Re: How to handle "Carriage Return" in IE?


Message #1 by "Chris Thompson" <cthompson@n...> on Fri, 28 Jun 2002 13:53:51 -0600
You have:
<%=3Dreplace(details("report"), "<br>", "&#13")%>

It needs to be the other way around like this:
<%=3Dreplace(details("report"), "&#13", "<br>")%>

Replace(String to search through, Item to look for, Item to replace it
with)

Thanks,

Chris Thompson

Sorry, forgot to mention I tried to use replace() function, but it
doesn't
work.
Here is the code I tried before:
------------------------------------------------------
<%=3Dreplace(details("report"), "<br>", "&#13")%>
------------------------------------------------------

as the ASCII value of Carriage Return is 013.

thanks

Hi:
I am having trouble display the "Return" char from the database.
I use the following form to collect data from the user:
---------------------------------------------------------
<textarea name="input" cols="28" rows="4" wrap="virtual"></TEXTAREA>

---------------------------------------------------------
If user's input is:
line1
line2

it will display in the IE as
line1 line2
If I create the recordset and retrieve the data
<%=recordset("columnname")%>

However it display in the textarea as
line1
line2
if I want to update the field. (It means the "return" key has been stored
properly in the database.

My question is how I can display the data with the "return" char.
i.e.
<%=recordset("columnname")%>
should display
line1
line2

not
line1 line2


thanks heaps

Brian

If you want to show up Return/line feeds on a webpage, then use this replace
command...


<%=replace(details("report"), vbCrLf, "<br>")%>


The vbCrLf is the same as doing Chr(10) & Chr(13)


Regards
Craig.
